As they say, accept no substitutes. Quattro is the king of wintertime

My neighbor has one...

The only time he could not drive in winter was when we had 18 inches last Xmas. He tried to but ended up high centered at the end of his driveway.

We "borrowed" a bobcat from a job site around the corner and rescued him. The 'Cat was able to ride on the snowpack with the rubber tank tread belts on the wheels.

glad I kept that ring of machine master keys!

I'm going to miss my 5000Q this winter. Last winter it was simply too much fun. Blizzards were a time to play! With good winter tires the car was unstoppable. I never needed to engage the locking diffs to get unstuck... I only turned them on when I was playing around in a parking lot.
